Lenox Hill + Mt. Sinai / Doc Recommendations

hi everyone! first time pregnancy here. I am sure there are other posts about this already but I couldn't find, so apologies - I'm looking for a great OB affiliated with Lenox Hill or Mount Sinai as I live uptown. I'd prefer a "warm and fuzzy" doc -- my gyno is NOT compassionate at all and the past few weeks working with her since I found out I was pregnant was disheartening. (Fortunately she is no longer an obstetrician).

If there is a doc I absolutely need to know about that is part of another hospital, I'm also open to hearing about it!

Thanks so much in advance.

Dr. Brill is my ob too and while I like her I don't think she's warm and fuzzy at all. I delivered at Lenox but later had outpatient surgery at mt. Sinai and prefer that hospital. I think do a hospital tour of both to also help you decide.

I go to Ketly Michel as well and I really like her. She has a solo practice so I know she will be the one who delivers my baby, which is really important to me - I don't want someone I met once to be the doctor on call when I go into labor. I think she has good bedside manner and she always sits down with you in her office after a visit, so you will always have a chance to ask questions. She delivers at Lenox Hill.

thanks so much everyone! anyone heard of Dr. Mussalli/Dr. Worth with Village Obstetrics? How about Dr. Joshua Sullum on the UES? Both are referrals from friends. Just doing as much research as possible.

Dr Brian Park is affiliated with Lenox hill .. His office is on 86th between lex and park.. He is a good dr very even tempered which I like and he will be the one to deliver the baby . He doesn't take turns with other doctors in a practice being on call which I appreciate.

I also see Dr. Ketly Michel. I love her. She's not super warm and fuzzy, but a great mix of kind, patient, practical, and experienced. I feel very comfortable with her. She always follows up right away after any tests, and always brings you into her office after any exams so that you have a chance to talk and ask questions. She delivers at Lenox Hill. Good luck!

Dr Brian Park also just delivered my baby at Lenox Hill...and during Superstorm Sandy no less! He will be the one to deliver your baby, and his staff has been wonderful, always checking on me and baby. He's not warm and fuzzy, but he is laid back which I appreciated. He was also my doc when I miscarried a year ago. He was wonderful during that terrible experience also. Good luck to you!

Village Obstetrics is the absolute best. They delivered both of my babies and they are the amazing. I have a 2 month old and I'm sad I dont get to see them any more. Best bed side manner of any doctors I've seen in NYC!

I also use Dr. Worth and Dr. Mussalli and can't say enough good things about their practice. They are the kindest, warmest doctors I have ever met, and the practice is very well-run. They now deliver at Mount Sinai.

Hi JTL, I love Dr Mussalli/Worth. I am preg with my first but I have been a doula for two women who have used them and I was very impressed. They specialized in VBAC and really value their clients wishes.

My delivery experience with dr brill was great but I didn't labor very long and knew going in I wanted an epidural. I arrived at the hospital 8cm so got the epi and had baby about an hour later. I had a few minor complications during my pregnancy and she was great - available and reassuring. I think she is working on being more personable bc at my last appt she asked a lot of non related personal questions. Good luck!

Our son Max was born the evening of the 21 nov at 6:41pm. He weighed in at 6 pounds and 7 ounces. Mom and Max are both doing well. I was induced (catheter nov 20 9am than 21 nov pitocin 9am with no epidural and I kept at 1cm dilated even with membrane stripped (head -1) until the 21st nov at 6pm.my doc and I decided baby didn't want to come vaginally !! Only at 6pm I had my epidural and went to the delivery room and had a c-section where my son was finally delivered. Doctor said was a good thing because he had some cord around his neck and also he was born with conehead (I guess I am too small or his head was too big?). She was able to remove one fibroid and I thought the recovery was going to be really hard (the reason I had changed my mind about trying to conceive vaginally) but today is day 1 after the c section and I am able to walk almost straight and feel much better ( even breast feed baby was released from NiCu after 24 observation because of my gestional diabetes)!!I can't believe I am a mom now! He is so sweet and cute baby!All I have to say for new moms to be go to the hospital with an open mind whatever had to be will be and everything will be alright!I am still at Lenox and wishing y'all a happy thanksgiving !!If you need a doctor I highly recommend Dr Kelty Michel she is awesome and for now I am going to use dr Flavio Gonzalez as my pediatrician (can't say much since I haven't use him much but he was here on thanksgiving and he checked my baby at the hospital )
